Our children are Okinawa’s future. It is necessary to create the sort of society thatensures that all children who want to learn and have goals to attain can fulfill their potential to the fullest, regardless of their parents’ circumstances.We should never let the cycle of poverty restrict children’s potential and options. To this end, it is necessary for society as a whole to support children’s education and growth,
and for individual local communities to build the sort of new environment that allows their children to live safely and in peace.This page provides basic
